My thoughts and prayers have been with you all during this time and I know that time will ease all pain. You have all been blessed with Betty and now is the time to take all those wonderful memories and cherish them each time you feel sad or see something that reminds you of Betty. I remember meeting her for the first time and how happy she made me feel. I laugh at the time she made our absent excuse Karen and to this day still talk about it. When I needed a home for a short time she opened the door and said welcome here. Time has passed us all by and it will continue on so look back so you can see yesterday and enjoy all the good the tomorrows will bring. Betty had a hand in it all and we are all the better for it. Rest in peace Aunt Betty.
